St. Louis, MO – Storms could disrupt outdoor plans across the St. Louis metro Tuesday afternoon as a round of strong thunderstorms develops, bringing the potential for damaging wind gusts and heavy rainfall.
According to the National Weather Service in St. Louis, the highest risk arrives after 1 p.m. Tuesday, with isolated storms capable of producing winds up to 60 mph. The threat extends through the evening across eastern Missouri and into parts of southwest Illinois, including St. Clair, Madison, and Monroe counties.
While Monday’s rain chances remain low, the moisture building into the region will fuel Tuesday’s instability.
